I was told it will be at least a week before will be up and running. New boards are being shipped to RADs.

Lol, my car looks plain Jane vanilla compared to what's been on the dyno. It looks completely stock. Nothing fancy and much to look at.

It is more fun than ever to drive though. The HTA Green is THAT much more responsive than my previous turbo.

I think I have one more tune to go before I am totally done with my car. It has to do with one final custom tweaked setup in the 'Bay.

And after my Q-Rack steering install, the car will be complete.

As it is, I am 110% happy with my tune, this little bit should just about take it over the top. Too bad I can't have a larger foot print to the ground than 235s.

Yeah... I know.. but dangit! I don't know how they did it cos mine is already pulled and rolled to da max... must be the offset. I had 245/35/18s and there was rubbing in the coilovers... no good to me. Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh ok. Just sucks you can't make use of all the power that you have. Btw what width and offset are you running?

I can easily do 4 wheel drifts at my current setup, even with my Star Specs.
They smoke a lot in my car upon hard acceleration.

Current wheels are uber light SSR Competitions 18x8 - 235/40/18s. Offset 48.

I have the same tires on Advans Super Racing 18x8.5 with a 45 offset that doesn't work too well in my car although it gives my car a much, much meaner stance and it's flush to the wells.

The 'tweaked' KW Variant coilovers with 9k springs makes it ride and handle way better than a 2010 M3 I test drove for a day.

Car Info: my wife crazy with buying parts

So I was watching Rides on HDTheater today and they were building a ford explorer(I think) up and trying to install a v8 supercharged engine. When it came to dyno, their **** was doing the same thing that RAD's did. They just swapped to a laptop...... hmmm i wonder if something as simple as that would of got us 2nd day dyno runners some numbers

By the way that thing made 400+ hp just after bolting on the supercharger before tuning
